Sixth plate daguerreotype. (Strong clarity and contrast, tarnish along perimeter where plate meets mat). Housed in half case (corner, edge wear). With penciled identification behind case, “Mr. W.S. Westcott, a ------  friend.” Research indicates that a Lieutenant Westcott fought under General Scott in the Battle for Mexico City on 13 September 1847, but we cannot confirm that this is the same Mr. Westcott.
